Thursday, January 09, 2014 4:20 PM

The Wisconsin Snow Report website is a new tool for tracking cross-country ski trail conditions throughout the state. The site, www.travelwisconsin.com/snowreport/crosscountry, is kept current by “more than 130 snow conditions reporters statewide who report at least weekly and after each snowfall,” according to Wisconsin Public Radio.

The site, maintained by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism, also provides snow conditions for snowmobile trails and downhill ski and snowboarding hills.

A mobile version of the site can be viewed on smartphones and users can sign up for email updates sent out on Thursdays. Attractions, accommodations, dining and events near specific trails are also listed on the site. Users are encouraged to submit photos of snow conditions in their areas.
